Hi
[edit]hi
There are far more reactions types than only four!! Kondensation, reduction, polymerisation and rearangement reactions.
Some of those reactions fit into more categories than one. Some substitution reactions folow an addition elimination pathway.

Drowning....=
[edit]Yikes, this page is insane. This sort of material almost deserves its own wikipedia.
My proposal:
organic reaction: general description some history, mostly links no elaborations
links to
- organic reactions by type 20 max!
mirrors Inorganic chemical reaction currently holds 4 main types
for example March:
aliphatic nucleophilic substitution, aromatic electrophilic substitution, aliphatic electrophilic substtitution, aromatic nucleophilic substtitution, free radical substitution, addition to carbon-carbon multiple bons, addition to carbon - hetero multiple bonds, eliminations, rearrangements, oxidations, reductions
- organic reactions by type of compound synthesised
this will clean up a lot, cut everything up in more digestable pieces
My proposal:
There are only 5 types of reaktions!!!!!! (My Prof said once!)
Nucleophilic Electophilic Radical Reduction Oxidation
All reactions fit in one of these Categories!

Re the revert of my changes. Is 'R' actually defined anywhere? My understanding is that it's monovalent, so saying eg an alkene is R=R is misleading at best. 86.137.75.32 15:51, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
Retire current tables?
[edit]Is it realistic to continue with the current reaction summary for this article? The amount of tables just gets too large and the reaction / synthesis part is already covered in the separate pages for each compound class.
any thoughts? V8rik 23:32, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
The list is updated and complete, unless there is opposition this list will replace the current tables on february 12 2006 V8rik 20:35, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

CC-formation/CX-cleavage distinction
[edit]I reverted out the following change:
The basic organic chemistry reaction types areOrganic reactions can be differentiated into CC-bond formation and CX-bond cleavage reactions. Whereas X can be a heteroatom or a carbonatom. Basicly all these reactions can be summed up into two different classes of reactions such as addition reactions, elimination reactions, substitution reactions, pericyclic reactions, rearrangement reactions and redox reactions.
Since it makes no sense to me: it says "two classes" but six are listed? Is hydrogenation of an olefin ever really considered a "bond cleavage" reaction? I can't see how to fix it, nor what useful information is added. Please clarify?
